Chocolate Fudge Cake

my gorgeous friend carol (with whom i shall be spending a fantastic weekend of relaxation and partying at the gold coast in around 80 days - woooooh!) has been working her butt off and lost 16kg over the past few months. this is a recipe she has used to make a special treat that is not goign to break her diet. thanks carol!

Chocolate fudge cake

60g choc finely chopped
1/4 cup cocoa
1/4 cup boiling water
6 egg whites
3/4 cup caster sugar
1/2 cup plain flour sifted

Preheat oven 170c line tin (I never do that)

place choc and cocoa in a small bowl pour over boiling water and stir til choc melts and mixture is smooth

Using and electric mixer beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Add the sugar 1 tablespoon at a time and continue beating until sugar has completely dissolved and the meringue is thick and glossy. Add the choc mixture and mix to combine. Use a metal spoon to gently fold in flour until just combined.
Pour into tin bake for 45 mins or until firm.
The book says to cool in oven with door ajar but I never do that image.

I serve this with a berry coulis image

Enjoy
